Best Defense

Almost.

After talking to Dhea, Franda took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm herself down. Trying to think positively for now, she would not make herself look stupid by going berserk and scolding her husband in that place. She'll figure it all out, at least she should be absolutely sure if she should go berserk and scold her husband.

Franda walks out of the toilet after calming down, walks into Nino's room and finds Jenny sitting at her desk. While walking, he noticed Jenny, then immediately smiled as Jenny looked at him.

"Hi, Jen!" greet Franda with her sweet smile, not wanting to show what was on her mind at the moment.

"Yes, Mom. Can I help you?" ask Jenny.

"Ah, there is no. I'm just a little bored inside. My husband doesn't seem to be bothered right now, hehehe" Franda said.

"Sir Nino does that when she's at work, Mom." Jenny replied with a smile.

"I'm his wife, don't you think there's an exception for me?" franda asked again, this time by raising both eyebrows.

"Ah, I'm sorry, ma'am. That's why I don't know." Jenny felt a little strange, because it was not usual for the woman in front of her to talk like that, even looking like she never wanted to chat with him.

"You know, Jen... Lately I've been feeling something different about my husband, do you know anything? Like the thing he's covering up with me maybe?" ask Franda to start investigating. He noticed Jenny's face looking very surprised and a few seconds later smiled again.

"What do you mean, Mom? I don't understand." Jenny replied in a calm tone that was slightly forced.

"Eitherway. You know, Jen... I knew my husband very well, we were married for seven years and I always felt something when he had a secret that he was covering. The feeling of a wife is never wrong, is it?" Franda said with her eyes fixed on Jenny.

"mmm... I don't know, Mom. I'm not married, so don't know, hehehe." Jenny replied.

"Ah, right. Marry, Jen! You're beautiful, there must be a lot of men who like you. Do you have a lover?" asked Franda who this time played the rope on her collar.

"No, Ma. I'm still enjoying the work here, I'm not thinking too much in that direction for now." Jenny replied casually.

"You love your job too much apparently. Is my husband nice to you? I don't want you to forget your life because of the rules here, Jen." Franda fishing again.

"Everything's fine, ma'am. I was just doing my job, and Mr. Nino was also good." replied Jenny who was starting to get uncomfortable with Franda's questions.

"I'm glad to hear that. My husband is always nice to anyone until sometimes people expect more from him.". Franda replied with poignant words. Makes Jenny more agitated and unable to reply to Franda's words.

Seeing Jenny who was just silent while smiling awkwardly, Franda was sure there was something between her husband and the secretary.

"I think I need your help now, Jen" Franda said.

"I'm listening!" jenny said confidently.

Jenny was no longer able to cover her surprised face. He rounded his eyes, and his hands squeezed his hands under the meda. Slightly vibrating.

"Sorry, Mom. I was just a little surprised to hear it." Jenny said when she realized Franda saw her reaction.

"It's ok! I just want to keep mine, hehehe." said Franda.

"Enough for now, I want to accompany my husband again. Call me right away if you get anything. You know where to call, right?" franda continued while standing.

"Yes, Mom. I know." Jenny said slowly. Franda then walked away from Jenny with a grin. She enjoyed seeing Jenny's frightened face. She's sure her husband does have an out-of-work relationship with Jenny, but she's not going to let him down right now. He must catch them both.

.

A month passed after Franda visited her husband last time. After that, not once did Franda come to that place again. He always reasoned that a lot of work was needed if Nino asked him to come. Beyond that their relationship is fine, at least for Nino so. Because Franda absolutely does not show that she knows her husband's affair.

This month Franda learned a lot about her husband that she had never realized. Nino and Jenny have been in a relationship for the past 2 years. They always spend time together in Jenny's apartment which is also purchased by Nino. Some other items purchased by Nino are also known by Franda, including a car, a minimalist house located in a residential not far from the office. The house is occupied by Jenny's parents, who later knew also that Jenny often visited them with Nino.

Franda knew all of that from one

a hired detective named Sean is suggested by Dhea.

One month Franda held back what she felt, she behaved as usual when she was with her husband as if nothing had happened. She always cried when she was alone, not accepting all the things her husband did. He wanted to kill Nino when they were together, but he always held her down and planned to catch them both.

And here they are now, parked in the apartment that Dhea occupied. Franda sat next to Sean who had turned off the car. Still lingering inside while closing his eyes and twitching the base of his nose. She didn't know what to react to when she saw her husband. Franda thought more about what would happen to her marriage which had already reached the seventh year.

Sean who saw Franda was still silent and asked.

"You okay? Do you want to cancel it?" ask Sean. He talks to Franda like a friend because she is a year older than Franda, and Franda doesn't want Sean to call her 'Mother' like everyone else. Somehow Franda felt Sean was a little different from everyone else.

Sean seems cold at first, but his gentle nature begins to be seen by Franda as the time they spend together discussing the development of the investigation about Nino. Franda starts to get comfortable talking to Sean, they are good friends. And that's what makes Franda ask Sean to call her a name without the title 'Mother' like the others.

"I'm fine and don't want to rest now, I have to finish this right now. It is impossible to delay and pretend to be good every day. I won't be able to resist chopping him up after this. Comeondown!" franda said as he opened the car door with a look of anger that he could no longer hide.

"All right if that's what you want" Sean said.

"But I'm not going in, I'm going to wait here. Finish your business with him, call me if you need anything." Sean continued. He did not accompany Franda because he did not want Nino to think badly when he saw her, lest there be a misunderstanding with her presence.

"OK." Franda answered briefly, not wanting to linger any longer. He closes the car door, leaves Sean there and walks to the unit occupied by Jenny.
